A tour worth following, and a cleaner way to share it. ON TOUR WITH INAYAH A new collection built with R&B singer INAYAH's own team: a Black-owned spot to eat in every city on her "Therapy Wasn't Enough" tour this fall, from Detroit to Los Angeles. Tap a city for the pick, then tap Tickets for the show. FEATURED THIS WEEK A new collection on Home that spotlights SavorBLK's top-tier partners, and keeps itself current automatically as businesses join. SHARE A NEWS STORY Every SavorBLK article can now be shared as a branded card, and opens to the real story on savorblk.com instead of landing on the business page. YOUR PHOTO, YOUR WAY Uploading a profile picture now gives you a real circular crop tool instead of a square one. Your photo also shows in the nav bar in place of the generic profile icon, and next to your name on every review, comment, and photo you post. FOR BUSINESS OWNERS Upload your own cover photo right from the app, no request needed. Post a multi-day event, not just a single day. Edit, delete, or preview an event you already posted instead of living with a typo. A CLEANER LAUNCH A simpler, faster launch screen. FIXES Fixed the Events page going blank when filtering by category or searching for an artist. Fixed a collection's share card sometimes showing the wrong photo. Fixed tapping a notification not opening where it should. Fixed a news article tap on a city page opening the business page instead of the article. Know a spot we are missing? Profile > Know a Spot.

Game day, the SavorBLK way. GAME DAY Home games for the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, MLS, NWSL and college football and basketball are now in Events, with a row for every league playing in your city. Tap a game for tickets, directions, and the Black-owned spots closest to the arena: where to eat before, where to get a drink after, and where to go for brunch the next morning. Concerts and comedy shows get the same guide. HBCU HOME GAMES Full home schedules for HBCU football and basketball, city by city: Texas Southern and Prairie View in Houston, Southern and Grambling in Baton Rouge, Howard in D.C., and more. They lead the Events page, with the classics worth traveling for right behind them, now with dates on every one. CELEBRITY OWNED A new collection and guide: the restaurants and bars Black stars actually own, from Ludacris' Chicken + Beer to Simone Biles' Taste of Gold to Bun B's Trill Burgers. Every listing shows who owns it, right on the page. NEVER LEAVE HOUSTON ON A SUNDAY A new Houston-only collection built around how the city actually spends its Sunday: brunch, a day party, a hop through Third Ward, EaDo and Almeda, and somewhere to land after dark. FIND YOUR VIBE Date night. Girls night. Birthday dinner. Game day. Pick a vibe in Explore and see the spots that fit. BETTER TRIP PLANNING Plan a Day loads faster. Search for any church by name for your Sunday. Your itinerary PDF now comes with a route map and numbered stops. COLLECTIONS, EVERYWHERE Collections like Girls Day Out and Sunday Funday reach across the country, your city first. Guides now link every place they mention straight to its listing, and you can share HBCUs, churches, historic sites and guides the same way you share a restaurant. SHORT NAMES FOR LONG CITIES Dallas-Fort Worth, New York City and the rest of the long ones now show as DFW, NYC and the like, so the city pill never gets cut off. FOR BUSINESS OWNERS Showing the game? Tell members which leagues you put on your screens and get found by fans looking for somewhere to watch. SHARE IT, AND IT OPENS Share any spot, list, game, event, HBCU, church or guide and it goes out as a card with its photo. Links open right in the app for friends who have it, and on the web for friends who do not. REAL PHOTOS, EVERYWHERE HBCU Eats, The Black Church, Historic Sites and Guides & Stories now open with a real photo on Home instead of a plain banner. And every HBCU's campus photo is now an actual photo of that campus — Howard, Morehouse, Spelman, Hampton's Emancipation Oak and more, all verified real. ALSO NEW Sign in with Apple or Google in one tap, right from the welcome screen. New accounts pick a name and username during setup. Pull down to refresh anywhere, and clearer messages when you are offline. The gold pin logo throughout the app, and a new animated launch screen. A shorter, easier to scan Events page.

The back button always takes you somewhere real, including after opening a shared link. Featured event cards now show a Learn More button when there's no ticket to buy, instead of an empty space.

Fixed a business's hours showing as raw text instead of a normal schedule. Fixed the camera showing a white screen after taking a photo.
